Nairobi’s Kiss 100 presenter Adele Anyango
responded to blogger Cyprian Nyakundi’s offensive comment after former Citizen
TV news anchor Janet Mbugua posted an appreciation message on their discussion,
Rape culture.
“To say that Adelle Onyango is a force
would be an understatement; I feel like she's a female trailblazer of our
times. Thank you for an incredible and thought-provoking discussion on
#RapeCulture; looking forward to seeing it shared and make a difference. Glad
to meet you Teamadelle!” posted Janet Mbugua.
Kenyans on social media slammed Nyakundi after the controversial blogger criticized the talk by Adele Anyango and went ahead to post a disgusting comment.
On her Facebook page, Adele gave a message to women who have been threaten by masculinity and responded to Nyakundi’s offensive remarks.
“So Cyprian please allow your mind to
expand its definition of what a woman is. Being a woman is not about our bodies
or being over dramatic or being soft or having emotions and changing our minds.
We are not here for your vilification. And I acknowledge that men are raped
too, and I am sorry, but men who have lived their whole lives as men haven’t
been told and taught that they deserve to be raped, that their voices carry no
weight and that their anger is invalid. So Cyprian I understand why you think
that we deserve to be raped and sexually objectified, abused, that our voices carry
no weight and that my anger and my causes are infinitely invalid. I hope this
allows you to experience some sort of vulnerability, either mine or your own.
For the men that support our causes and realize the bane of the womb, we say
thank you, and continue to support us, love us and cherish us, as women for
being women, appreciate our intellect, hear our voices and acknowledge our
accomplishments for we will continue to spread the message, and keep hope alive
that one day we will live in a rape free society,” read part of the post.
